Quick Overview:

With VirtualPBX you can select from 3 usage based plans, and although their VirtualPBX-Unlimited is really not unlimited it has more than enough minutes to actually seem like unlimited under normal usage.

VirtualPBX offers security and stability from a provider that has been doing it longer than any of the rest of the service providers. You will get two phone numbers with any of these plans, as well as unlimited extensions. Their overage minutes range anywhere from 3.9¢ up to 4.9¢.

Grasshopper Screenshot

Quick Overview:

Grasshopper takes a unique approach to their usage based plans, incuding a pay-as-you-go plan on the lower end. With this pay as you go plan, you get no included minutes and instead, you simply pay six cents for each minute you use.

With Grasshopper you do not have to sign up for an extended one or two year contract to get discounted pricing. They provide standard pricing on all their plans with no long term contracts.

There is no 30 day free trial, but they do offer a 30 day money back guarantee.

Nextiva  Screenshot

Quick Overview:

Nextiva offers three plans under their Connect product. There are no long term contracts and service is month to month. Their plans range from 100 minutes on the lower end to unlimited minutes on their hightest Connect plan.

With Nextiva Connect you get one phone number per plan and limited extensions based on the plan you purchase – either 10, 20 or 100 extensions. This is different from our other top 5 providers who all give unlimited extensions.

You should also be aware that they do not support Vanity numbers or plans in Canada at this time, and Internet fax is a seperate, additional service you need to purchase.
